PROJECT OF THE MONTH.
Although the production and use of Open Educational Resources (OER) is expanding rapidly, there are few experiences of real world usage. The educational programme of the Free Technology Academy (FTA) is an inspiring showcase of the collaborative production and exploitation of such freely licensed course materials. The FTA offers an online master level programme with Free Technologies modules for IT professionals, students, teachers and decision makers.

New technologies involve new methods of teaching, learning and training. However, the universities lack well-defined structures to accomplish it. 
Dr. Tony Bates is a keynote speaker, much in demand, who has worked in more than 40 countries specialising in the strategic use of elearning in higher education.
